Description

Abstract: A follow up on regulations imposed on the horseclam, Schizothaorus nuttallii, after the public hearing on shellfish July 22, 1940 has been carried on at the Newport laboratory through field examination and laboratory tests. Regulations affecting horseclams imposed at the hearing were in essence: a personal limit of "36 clams of all species in aggregate, exclusive of razor clams, and not more than 18 of which may be horseclams.........provided further that it shall be unlawful to take, catch, or dig horseclams for any purpose whatsoever, during the period January 1 to June 30, both dates inclusive of any year; and providing further that in digging or taking clams for personal use the first 36 clams taken, dug, or caught shall be counted as and shall constitute for that day the personal use bag limit......". The closed season, Jan. 1 to June 30, has been checked in particular by a series of monthly samples from the various bays ---- Tillamook, Netarts, Yaquina, and Coos Bay, the only Oregon bays having significant horseclam beds where any appreciable digging takes place.
